Barracas Central vs Sarmiento Junin: Prediction for the Match on September 20 2025

Barracas Central will host Sarmiento Junin in Round 9 of the Torneo Betano 2025 Clausura what will likely be a close rough match between two mid-table teams struggling to stay afloat. Barracas have been one of the strongest teams at home during this campaign still without a single loss, and with a strong defensive system they have been in good health, with Sarmiento bringing fresh inspiration after a home win but still exhibiting apparent significant deficits away. As both teams value discipline, the match might be resolved based on efficiency and set-pieces.

Barracas Central: Form and Statistics

Barracas Central have been in great form of late, having not lost any of their past five games (W2, D3). Their most recent game is a hard-fought 0-0 draw against Godoy Cruz which they were unable to create any chances in but remained tight at the back. At home, the side has been solid and played 91% of their matches, scoring in only one home match this season. They have an excellent conversion rate (18%), and they have an average number of shots per game (8.82) which is an efficient number. They have been very dangerous in the last quarter of games scoring 25% of their goals after the 80 th minute.Their greatest weakness, however, is in the possession of the ball (39%) and inclination to commit fouls (11 per game).

Barracas Central: Lineup

Coach, Insua, should not change much, and stick with the previous structure, which is the 5-4-1 with increased emphasis on stability at the back and speed on the wings. Barrios and Insua will play an important role in change, and the offensive trio of Morales, Ruiz and Bruera will be relied on to score. They can move and be physically present to destabilize Sarmiento as an offensive player.

Ledesma – Barrios, Jappert, Barragan, Demartini, Insua – Morales, Miroc, Tapia, Ruiz – Bruera

Out: Kruger, Pianovi ( injured)

Sarmiento Junin: Form and Statistics

Sarmiento enter in this game following the boosting 2-0 home victory over Aldosivi, but they have failed to be consistent. They have only two wins in their past 6 games (W2, D1, L3) and especially at home - scoring in 45 out of their 6 games and not scoring in 55 out of their 6 games. They also have the worst prolific attacking team in the league (0% Over 2.5 Goals rate away). Sarmiento had a blunt attacking advantage of only 7.09 shots per game and an 8% shooting rate. On the defensive side, though, they possess a solid clean sheet record (36%) and they are tactical minded.

Sarmiento Junin: Lineup

A 4-4-2 is the most probable system that Coach Sanguinetti will also retain as it worked well in the previous victory. Morales Bravo and Rodriguez are expected to spearhead the attack. Villalba and Gomez will be crucial to the team in the midfield to slow down the dynamic play of Barracas.
